Biography
Eadgils was the son of King Ohthere and the brother of Eanmund, and he was a prince of the Swedes. In 530, Eadgils and Eanmund both fled to Geatland when their uncle Onela usurped the throne following the death of King Ohthere. King Heardred and the Swedish princes fought against King Onela, but Onela slew Heardred and Eanmund in battle. King Beowulf and Eadgils would work together and slay Onela at the Battle on the Ice of Lake Vaenern, and Eadgils became the new king of the Swedes. Eadgils would become a rich and greedy king, and he died after cracking his head on a skull when his horse tripped.
